Intrigue: Espionage and Culture
ISBN: 9780300104981 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Why do spies have such cachet in the twentieth century? Why do they keep reinventing themselves? What do they mean in a political process? This book examines the tradition of the spy narrative from its inception in the late nineteenth century through the present day. Ranging from John le Carre's bestsellers to Elizabeth Bowen's novels, from James Bond to John Banville's contemporary narratives, Allan Hepburn sets the historical contexts of these fictions: the Cambridge spy ring; the Profumo Affair; the witch-hunts against gay men in the civil service and diplomatic corps in the...

Troubled Legacies: Narrative and Inheritance
ISBN: 9780802091109 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Last wills and testaments create tensions between those who inherit and those who imagine that they should inherit. As Victorian, modern, and contemporary novels amply demonstrate, seldom is more energy expended than at the reading of a will. Whether inheritances bring disappointment or jubilation, they create a pattern for the telling of stories, stories that involve the transmission of legacies - cultural, political, and monetary - from one generation to the next. Troubled Legacies examines these narratives of inheritance in British and Irish fiction from 1800 to the...
